My very own Downton Abbey

I created the above project for the http://citycrafter.blogspot.com/2013/01/city-crafter-challenge-blog-week-141.html in which you had to use book pages. I adhered the dictionary pages with bees wax to a cover cut from an old book, then painted over them with more bees wax. Then I added a vintage bridge table marker and layered on lots of Prima leaves, velvet flowers, and lace; 7gypsies and Heidi Swapp tapes; real leaf; vintage lace; and a vintage flower ornament; and of course, the photo of my grandmother and two friends - with their hats and dresses, they came right out of Downton Abbey - don't you think?!

Hope you are enjoying the new season of Downton Abbey and have a great day!Chris
